Houston, Dallas and Austin all landed on the 'Cities with the fastest-growing wages in 2017' list according to a new report from PayScale.com. Texas cities claimed three of the top 31 roster spots, with Austin leading the Lone Star State.

Austin also tied with Denver and San Diego for second place overall.

PayScale.com, a compensation software and data company, looked at the changes to the average wages in various cities and among jobs and industries.

PayScale said its research is based on its own data and zeroed in on the wage growth of the largest 31 metropolitan regions in the nation. It looked at the top metro areas by population and then listed them from best to worst in terms of wage improvement for jobs.
